Is the prevalence of severe stenoses of left circumflex different from that of the right coronary artery?
We reviewed the last 911 coronary arteriograms performed in our laboratory because of chest pain. Among 215 patients with single-vessel disease, 40 had stenosis in the right coronary artery and 43 in the left circumflex. This finding conflicts with previous reports. Perhaps racial differences could explain this discrepancy.
